What are the differences in Domain name, subdomain, etc...
I am starting to learn a little bit on what making a webpage takes, so i want to know what is the difference between
DOMAIN
Sub-domain
Parked domain
add-on domain
What i basically need to get is a normal domain name, like for me wiill be for example www.unrinoceronte.com
But please explain me all those above.

Sorry @Share-IT ... you posted whilst I was typing ;)
the www is just a hostname so in it's simplest form www.abc.com would be the server called "www" at the domain "abc.com"
for you to have the domain name www.unrinoceronte.com you need to register unrinoceronte.com and add www as a hostname (or A record) in your DNS.
for you to have the domain name www.unrinoceronte.com you need to register unrinoceronte.com and add www as a hostname (or A record) in your DNS.
@gmaddockgreene - sorry back! ;)

Thanks Share IT, i understand now very clearly. And also thanks to Gmadockgreene, the link was very useful and explanatory!.
A sub domain is a configuration on your web server. Example: subdomain.unrinoceronte.co
You would set up a sub domain on your domain if you wanted one.
A parked domain is a registered domain that is just in a 'holding' area and pointing to something other than your web site.
Add-on domain would be a domain that is usualy added to your account or DNS record to point to the same Web site.
